Bartimaeus Posted January 15, 2024 Posted January 15, 2024 (edited) Since the Packers continue to beat the Cowboys even without Aaron Rodgers, I'm going to assume they'll also continue to lose to the 49ers until proven otherwise. In other news, the Packers play the 49ers in the Divisional Round. Edited January 15, 2024 by Bartimaeus Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

The Niners would have won The Big Game last season had Giant Veiny Throbbing Brock not gotten hurt.

Keyrock Posted January 16, 2024 Posted January 16, 2024 I guess I'll cheer for the Lions going forward, they're the only team left I like even a little bit. I'm not a Lions fan, or anything, but they're kind of the feel good Cinderellla-ish story just because it's been so rare the last couple of decades that they've been anything but dog$#!+. I can't see them beating the Niners, but it would be nice if they made it to the NFC Championship. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Bartimaeus Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Oh no, Jordan Love has mastered Aaron Rodgers' patented technique of throwing a really stupid interception when down late against the 49ers in the playoffs!

Keyrock Posted January 21, 2024 Posted January 21, 2024 Hell yeah, Lions! I don't expect them to beat the Niners next weekend, but that would be amazing. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Keyrock Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 (edited) Holy $#!+, are the Lions going to do this? Edit: Nope. Well, the silver lining is that I am now completely free to do whatever I want 2 Sundays from now. I hate both teams, so I have zero compulsion to watch The Big Game.

Hurlshort Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 The Niners seem to have found a formula where they only show up for the 2nd half of the game and manage to win. I guess if it ain't broke.

Gromnir Posted January 11 Author Posted January 11 am lighting a candle and saying a prayer for the soul o' @Bartimaeus following the improbable packers v. bears playoff game. is only a few games we recollect with so many wtf moments. Matt LaFleur 'not coaching for his job' vs. Bears per Ian Rapoport hmmm. HA!

Matt LaFleur 'not coaching for his job' vs. Bears per Ian Rapoport hmmm. HA! Good Fun! More amused than anything else, especially as I was so out of wack with my chronically terrible sleep that I got too sleepy and actually went to bed at 8 so I didn't see the game (though I did just watch the highlights after waking up a little bit ago), so while it's certainly another horrifically embarrassing and painful playoff loss (bonus points for being against the Bears!), I did at least have the good fortune of not watching it live. Deja vu of three weeks ago against the Bears but somehow even worse this time: 25 points given up in the 4th quarter? Yowch! It's been a very Jekyll and Hyde season for the Packers, but really, the Packers have been having these sorts of horrific playoff collapses under LaFleur since he got here, wonder if he's now in real danger of being let go after that. This Packers team did not have the legs to go the distance after losing about half its starters, most of them late into the season, but I did think there was a real possibility of them knocking off the Bears. Whoops. To fumble it like that is pretty inexcusable. Edited January 11 by Bartimaeus 1 Quote Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use.

Gromnir Posted January 12 Author Posted January 12 other than chargers v. pats, the playoff games has been highly entertaining. @ShadySandslikely doesn't wanna jinx by commenting, but the ten year playoff win drought for the broncos could end if they beat the team which knocked 'em out 31-7 last year-- the buffalo bills. 49rs v seahawks also looks like a fun contest with baked in drama given the two previous meetings this year... akin to packers v. bears. color us shocked, but am genuine interested in nfl football this post season. huzzah.

Bartimaeus Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I could be misremembering (as it's been a few years), but I believe ShadySands was more of a Packers fan than a Broncos, but he's also more or less stopped watching the NFL. This was probably the least I've been interested in the NFL in the past decade (I only caught about half of the Packers games and really didn't watch much else), but it's probably less to do with the NFL itself for me, and more to do with sports just not being a super compelling method of escapism for me this year. 1 Quote Against stupidity we have no defense.

This is correct; I was, and kind of still am, a Packers fan, even though I don't follow the NFL at all anymore. I always cheer for the local sports team unless they are playing my actual favorite teams, but that goes for all team sports. The Madden and Tecmo Bowl games were the reason for my early Packers fandom, if anyone is wondering why the Packers. They had Sterling Sharpe and he could catch anything in those games and little kid me wanted to be a wide receiver. When I was a kid in AZ, everyone hated the Cardinals because they chose to be a city team rather than a state team, though they later rectified that. The Cowboys fans always outnumbered the Cardinals fans in my little corner of southern Arizona. 1 Free games updated 3/4/21
